Since few years Google is rolling out some or the other new Algorithm every month to improve their quality of Search Engine Results.For those who don't know Google Panda or Farmers update is a Google Algorithm which penalises the Websites/Blogs with low quality content.

However the case was different,most of the people get penalised and only few get benefited with these updates.We are also one of the victims of these updates and somehow managed to bring the traffic back.
